Peppermint Bark

There are times when I want to go overboard with the cake decorating, and there other times I just want to make a quick, delicious treat. This peppermint bark definitely falls into the “quick treat” category. It has four ingredients (three if you’re in a pinch)! You can even use a microwave to melt the chocolate. You can scale the recipe up or down in a snap. Believe me?
